Gary, Lyn and Dee try to keep up with all that is happening.
Sen. Rand Paul graces us with his Pearls of Wisdom. Excuse me. We’ll pass. (A housing complex in LA doesn’t have that option, what will they do?) Is another government shutdown in our future? October 1st is coming. Airlines are contemplating lay-offs October 1st.. Why? How many? Will the unemployment rate tick up right before the election. We’re not going to call it a coronation. Does the stock market reflect YOUR economic circumstances? The Post Office again.
Focus on the Family is a Covid-19 hot spot. We will reserve our comments. Covid-19 deaths aren’t as high as reported? Well, the current administration is trying to convince people that deaths of people with pre-existing conditions don’t count. By their math, only 6% of COVID deaths are due to COVID. Is there data manipulation going on here? Is the CDC downplaying the statistics? Cory Gardner & Ken Buck seen at a gun rally sans masks and social distancing. Check out Buck’s “T” shirt. Trump really stepped on his “Crank” this time insulting our troops. Might be a non-recoverable situation for him. Will the election be contested and what about exit polls?
Is your company giving you a payroll tax IOU? Do you remember what happened last time? Lots of people ended up owing money in April. Some companies have decided to not participate in this ‘holiday.’ Sadly, government workers don’t have that option. If your paycheck is bigger, you might want to put that extra money in a savings account somewhere. You’ll need it in 2021.
Dung Lamborn is remaining silent. Where does he stand on the Post Office, insulting our troops, the coming possible government shut down, payroll tax and the other myriad issues of the day? We don’t know. If you see him, ask and let us know.
As always we ask you to participate in the Census, check your voter registration, wear a mask, and practice physically distancing from others in public.
